large , single material tanks will be most impacted ,” he continues . “ This means that the storage industry must develop diverse sites with varying tank capacities in terms of both size and product . We ’ ve been doing this for several years and we now have the capacity to blend biofuels with others to achieve different grades and types of products ; you have to consider the transition as an opportunity , not a challenge !”
Bruno Hayem goes on : “ The next step will be another green fuel linked to hydrogen , which raises questions over how we are going to manage such products . What I mean by that is these products are gases , which are not liquid at atmospheric pressures , meaning we will need to invest in new infrastructure to store them .
“ Location will be crucial ,” he states . “ The product will be complex to manage , more dangerous than our current fuels and with lower energy capabilities . This means we will need increased capacity to generate the same level of energy . However , I ’ m confident that we have the knowledge , land , and experience required to adapt to these changes whenever they occur .”
Continuing the topic of energy security , Nuria Blasco elaborates : “ We understand how the logistics of various products work and we understand the needs of our clients , as well as any associated dangers .”
“ There are big challenges around pipelines ,” Bruno Hayem suggests . “ European pipeline operators are considering how they can maintain flows if and when there will be a reduction , as well as how to manage biofuels .”
“ Overall , I agree with Bruno ’ s statement that we boast the
